<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nothing says summer quite like </span><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/sunflowers/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">sunflowers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. With their joyful and vibrant petals, sunflowers bring a splash of color to any garden. While golden yellow petals are most common, there are different variations of sunflower, from red and deep purple, to white. Sunflowers are well-loved by experienced gardeners and novices alike and are a great </span><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">flower</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for children to grow and take care of.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sunflowers can be planted and grown at home by following a few simple steps. With the right care and patience, standard sunflowers usually grow from 6 to 10 feet tall, while giant varieties can grow as high as 20 feet.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here, we cover how to plant sunflowers so you can grow impressive and eye-catching blooms in your garden.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">When to plant sunflowers</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Choosing the right time of year to grow sunflowers is essential to ensure your blooms grow their best and to avoid rotting. The best time to plant your sunflower seeds is in the spring, usually from early March to mid-May - but make sure to check the seed packet beforehand.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To give your seeds the best start, they will need to be protected until they have germinated and seedlings have grown to around 2 inches. It may be best to grow them indoors until this point, to avoid any damage to them from the cold weather.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to plant sunflowers - step by step</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Planting sunflowers from seed should be a straightforward process and can be a fun activity to do with children. To make planting sunflowers feel as simple as possible, we&rsquo;ve broken it down step by step below.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 1: Prep</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before you plant your sunflower seeds, you will need to make sure you have everything you need to grow them successfully.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sunflowers need a sunny but sheltered spot and good, rich soil (as well as well-rotted manure, or garden compost if you have any). Before you buy your seeds, you&rsquo;ll need to choose the variety of sunflower you&rsquo;d like to plant carefully. Do you want your sunflowers to grow as high as 15 feet, or would you prefer smaller plants? Dwarf sunflowers only grow around 3 feet tall, which are perfect for smaller spaces such as garden planters or boxes.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 2: Depth</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sow the seeds into individual pots or seed trays of multi-purpose compost about 1 inch deep and 3 inches apart from each other. For tall sunflowers, or those that grow into multi-branched bushes, you should sow the seeds 3 feet apart from each other.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 3: Flower food</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once your seedlings have germinated and grown to around 2 inches, they can be moved into individual, larger pots, around 3 inches in diameter. Add a small amount of multi-purpose compost to each pot, then carefully remove the seedling from its previous seed tray or pot and place it gently into the new pot. Then fill the pot with more compost and gently push the compost down to compact it. Water each pot well, before positioning them in a warm and bright spot.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you&rsquo;ve done this, you can start to use a liquid fertilizer on the plants to help support the seedlings&rsquo; growth. Granular fertilizer is a good choice for planting sunflowers in the spring, due to a slow release of nutrients over time. Once the sunflowers have become more mature, you can use a water-soluble fertilizer.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 4: Plant out</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once your sunflowers have germinated, make sure to keep them well-watered until they are ready to be planted in the garden. Prepare the soil by removing any weeds and plant your sunflowers at the same depth they were in their pot, in a sunny but sheltered position like the back of a flower border.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Soil requirements</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To help your sunflowers grow healthy and vibrant, plant them in fertile, well-drained soil. While mulching sunflowers isn&rsquo;t always necessary, if you live in a dry climate you may choose to do so. To mulch the roots, apply a 2-4 inch layer of straw or bark mulch, while leaving a ring of bare soil around the stalk. This will make sure the mulch doesn&rsquo;t make contact with the plant, and it will preserve soil moisture and prevent weeds.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Planting sunflowers in different environments</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Provided you take care of them well, sunflowers can be planted and will thrive in most US states, looking their best in the summer months. This is because sunflowers are full-sun plants and only thrive in environments where they receive 6 or more hours of direct sunlight per day.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They are known to survive extreme heat as long as their moisture needs are met, so make for great blooms in hotter states like California and Arizona. Provided your flowers have well-drained soil and good air circulation to prevent root rot, they should tolerate high temperatures.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you live in a cooler climate? Sunflowers can also handle cooler environments as long as they receive plenty of sunlight every day.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Understanding common pests and diseases</span></h2>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pests</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bold and beautiful, sunflowers are a flower that everyone recognizes and loves, and that unfortunately includes pests! Thankfully, pests only tend to cause significant damage to sunflowers when in large numbers. Here are some of the most common sunflower pests to watch out for, to keep your blooms healthy and pest-free:&nbsp;</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Cutworms: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cutworms love to chew on new sunflower seedlings and often feed at night, before hiding in the soil a few inches from the plant. To find them, dig the soil around the plant. You&rsquo;ll tend to notice leaf damage that looks like small transparent sections chewed by the insects, or wilting. To prevent cutworms you can use weed control, as weeds shelter and feed them. Cutworms tend to live in the grass, so to prevent them from getting to your sunflowers, leave a three-foot-wide soil strip between your lawn and your plants.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Sunflower beetles: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sunflower beetles are easily recognizable due to their red-brown head and cream-colored wings. While they&rsquo;re attractive and unique insects, they can cause damage to your sunflowers by creating shotholes in the leaves when they feed. Thankfully, the number of sunflower beetles is limited by &ldquo;beneficial insects&rdquo; like ladybugs, who eat their eggs!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Sunflower moths:</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Sunflower moths, who lay their eggs within the flowers, are one of the most destructive pests to sunflowers. Once the eggs have hatched, the insects move into the flower heads to feed, which can destroy the flower. To avoid sunflower moths, you can try a biological insecticide.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Diseases</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sunflowers are quite hardy plants, so aren&rsquo;t as affected by diseases as other flowers. But there are some diseases to watch out for to keep your blooms healthy and thriving.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fungal diseases like Alternaria leaf blight causes dark brown lesions on sunflower leaves, surrounded by a yellow halo. This can be treated by pruning out the infected leaves and leaving a good amount of space in between plants to reduce humidity and improve air circulation.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The most common threat to sunflowers is stem rot, also known as white mold. This can cause sudden wilting leaves and root or head rot. Proper watering and crop rotation can help to reduce the chances of this disease affecting your blooms.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Companion plants for sunflowers</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sunflowers make great companion plants due to their height, which can help shelter other plants from the sun. Lettuce will grow well next to sunflowers, as it enjoys the shade, especially in the summer. Peppers can get damaged in hot temperatures, so will enjoy being shaded by tall sunflowers. Sunflowers also make for great pollinator attractors, due to being large, beautiful blooms that attract bees. The bees will then drift to other plants in your garden to pollinate them too.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prefer to receive sunflowers in the mail? Order a stunning vase arrangement or bouquet from French Florist&nbsp;</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Maybe you&rsquo;re not a gardener, or simply don&rsquo;t have the space to grow sunflowers yourself. This shouldn&rsquo;t stop you or your loved ones from being able to marvel at the joy and beauty that sunflowers bring.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p><img class="alignleft wp-image-270 size-medium" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/11/thumbnail-300x201.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/11/thumbnail-300x201.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/11/thumbnail-447x300.jpg 447w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/11/thumbnail.jpg 500w" alt="thumbnail" width="300" height="201" loading="lazy" />This November people across the country will pause to remember the sacrifice made by so many individuals to fight for and defend this country. <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/veterans-day/">Veterans Day</a> is a time to show appreciation for all that they have done, and there is no better way to do this than by giving flowers. Flowers offer a bit of life and beauty that everyone can appreciate, as they help to light up the room wherever they are placed. Those looking around for the best flower arrangements for the occasion should consider the following options.</p>
<p><strong>Orange roses</strong></p>
<p>Although red <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> are associated with romantic love,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=1737">orange roses&nbsp;</a>have a different meaning entirely. Traditionally they are used to signify enthusiasm and gratitude, which are two emotions that those recognizing Veterans Day would like to capture. A bouquet or arrangement of orange flowers can also be used to signify friendships and love, which are also appropriate messages for the day. Even those who are not familiar with the exact messages associate with the flower selection should find the bouquet lovely and they will appreciate the sentiment behind it.<img class="alignright wp-image-271 size-full" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/11/thumbnail-1.jpg" alt="thumbnail-1" width="266" height="275" loading="lazy" /></p>
<p><strong>Fall colors</strong></p>
<p>Veterans Day comes at a time of year when many people are witnessing the changing of the <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/trees/">trees</a> and cooling temperatures while they begin to move increasingly indoors. The warmth of the fall colors can help light up the inside of homes, making the flowers even more appreciated.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2906">Daisies a</a>re a wonderful flower because they can bring a number of the rich fall colors into a single bouquet that perfectly matches the time of year. The soft fall colors of the flowers make them beautiful and appreciated by all.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-272 size-full" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/11/thumbnail-2.jpg" alt="thumbnail-2" width="258" height="263" loading="lazy" />Patriotic memorial</strong></p>
<p>Sadly, Veterans Day also serves as a common time to remember those who have passed who also served in the nation's armed forces, especially those who may have died in combat. Many loved ones use the day to visit gravesites and attend memorials. A patriotic flower arrangement may be the perfect marker to remember and thank those who sacrificed so much to defend the country. Look for one that uses red, white, and blue in a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=396">stunning arrangement.</a></p>
<p>Veterans Day is the time to say '<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/thank-you/">thank you'</a> to all those who have helped to defend this nation, both living and deceased. Those looking for the perfect gift for either either a loved one or for a memorial should consider the above ideas and begin working to find the arrangement that will fit their particular situation best.</p>

<p>It's that time again. No, we're not talking about Thanksgiving. We're talking about <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/veterans-day/">Veterans Day</a>, a holiday we've celebrated in some form or another since November 11, 1919, when it was conceived as 'Armistice Day' and intended to remember the end of WWI the year before. Since then, 'Armistice' has been replaced with 'veterans,' and we've turned our attention to acknowledging the many brave U.S. military who have served to protect and defend our country.</p>
<p>At <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>, we think honoring Veterans Day with flowers is the best way to personally extend your gratitude to that special vet (or vets) in your life.</p>
<p><span id="more-1105"></span></p>
<p>Because this is such a meaningful day, it's worth it to select a floral arrangement that will really resonate with the recipient. A piece like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/los-angeles-sunflowers-and-succulents-bouquet/">Sunflowers &amp; Succulents</a> achieves a few things on that end. The scale is perfect, not overwhelming or showy, which keeps the attention on the deserving vet you're sending it to and feels more intimate. Blue hydrangea work in one of the colors of the American flag (a color that also symbolizes loyalty), while the sunflowers will appeal to both male and female recipients. Curly willow over top keeps this seasonally appropriate, and the succulents tucked in will last for a very long time, just like your gratitude.</p>

<p>Showing consideration for our veterans is something we do as a community through parades, observations and parties. But this is exactly the sort of poignant occasion where flowers can say what words can't. We at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> join you in honoring our military veterans this November 11.</p>

HONORING VETERANS DAY WITH FLOWERS

Tips & Tricks

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/veterans-day/">Veterans Day</a> is an official holiday celebrated in the United States to honor those who have served in the military, both present and past. These heroes are known as veterans. Veterans Day is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11th of every year and is a time to remember, appreciate and thank all of the men and women who have risked their lives for our safety.</p>
<p>In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11th 'Armistice Day', saying:</p>
<p>'to us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations.'</p>
<p>In 1954, Congress changed the name of 'Armistice Day' to 'veterans Day' in an effort to better honor those who are serving in the armed forces, as well as those who have served. It has been known as Veterans Day ever since- a day to remember lives lost in the effort of obtaining freedom for all Americans.</p>
<p>This year, say <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/thank-you/">thank you</a> to all the veterans in your life, both those who have served in years gone by, as well as those currently serving, with a beautiful bouquet of flowers from&nbsp;<a href="http://frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>. Los Angeles' premier online floral retailer for over 30 years, French Florist has a wide assortment of patriotic arrangements to choose from including this&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/colors-of-our-country">'Colors of Our Country' arrangement</a>. A red, white and blue themed arrangement featuring delphinium, carnations, gerbera daisies and assorted fillers is a classic American tribute.</p>

In fact, all of America will be celebrating <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/st-patricks-day/">St. Patrick's Day</a> ' we have over 36 million citizens of Irish descent! However, it is common knowledge that everyone is Irish on St, Patrick's Day, so dig out your best green outfits, call your friends, and prepare for a festive day!</p>
<p>For those who wish to adorn their homes and offices in green as well, call French Florist! We've got&nbsp;all the <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/green-flowers/">green flowers</a>, plants, and <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/succulents/">succulents </a>you'll need to celebrate your Celtic roots!&nbsp;<span id="more-934"></span><br />It seems appropriate that anyone can claim to be Irish on Saint Patrick's Day ' since the namesake himself was not even Irish. Born Maewyn Succat, and a native of Great Britain, Patrick changed his name when he became a Catholic priest. He was a missionary to Ireland and was responsible for nearly single-handedly converting the Emerald Isle to Christianity. He was much beloved by his adopted country, and they honored their patron with a feast day when he passed away. When Irish immigrants made their way to the United States in the 1700s and 1800s, they brought the celebration with them. Immigrants settle primarily in New York and Boston, and the heaviest concentrations of their descendants still live in those metropolitan areas.</p>
<p><strong>The Luck of the Irish?</strong> Irish legend is full of good luck charms, from four leaf clovers to leprechauns and pots of gold. However, it is the much more commonplace three-leaf shamrock that is truly associated with the Patrick ' he used the clover to teach Irish children about the doctrine of the Trinity. If you were to go looking for a 4-leaf clover, you can expect to find about 10,000 of the more common variety for every lucky stem.</p>
<p>When it comes to decorating for St. Patrick's&nbsp;Day ' or sending a bouquet to celebrate the day ' call <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com">French Florist.</a> From green mums and hydrangea&nbsp;to orchids and Bells of Ireland, we 've got all the green you are looking for.</p>

CELEBRATING ST. PATRICK's DAY WITH GREEN FLOWERS

Flowers For A Year

<p>There are some resolutions we make that we just won't keep up. We have the best of intentions, but when it comes to sticking to a goal that we set at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/new-year/">New Years</a>, it's often the case that we can't quite commit to it for a full year. But we here at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> believe that resolutions tied to health and well-being are important, and weve got just the thing to help you with that.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=442">Flowers For A Year</a>&nbsp;is a program that promises to fill 2018 with flowers, and it does just that.</p>
<p><span id="more-1137"></span></p>
<p>The concept is simple: you have flowers sent to yourself (or someone else) every month for the full year. The first fresh bundle arrives with a note explaining that this is only the beginning of a year full of flowers, a thrilling proposition. And if you prefer something else, we have that too: Blooming Plants For A Year, Roses Every Month and Orchids For A Year.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=442"><img src="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/dchoicelg.jpg?w=950&amp;auto=format" /></a></p>
<p>This is one way to set yourself up to always have flowers in the house. Just as one bouquet is reaching its expiration date, another is on the way to replace it. And let's face it, self-love is an important aspect of our lives, definitely worthy of a resolution. Flowers are an essential part of making ourselves feel special and of bringing life and nature into our homes.</p>

There is something about looking at a blank calendar page that is both inspiring and motivating. Taking one last glance at the year behind us, we turn our eyes to the <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/new-year/">New Year celebration</a>&nbsp;and the hope and opportunity that January brings. Whether you are the guest or the host this New Year's Eve, flowers are the perfect choice to provide the decor that embodies all the anticipation inherent at this time.</p>
<p><strong>Which Flowers are Right for New Year's Eve?</strong> Although there is no right or wrong answer, many people lean towards white flowers at this time of year. They represent new beginnings, and also evoke feelings of a white winter, even here in southern California. These white <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> and green orchids offer a few festive silver ornaments, and beautifully&nbsp;embody all the beauty of this season in Los Angeles.</p>

<p>White <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/lilies/">lilies</a> and hydrangea are also popular choices for holiday decor, and green accents such as the unique Bells of Ireland lend a fresh accent.</p>

<p>Every New Year, we take stock of our lives and look for ways to improve our health and happiness. The floral experts at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> believe one easy way to help your mind, body and soul this year is by including more flowers in your world. Here's why flowers can make your new year better than ever:</p>
<ul>
<li>Flowers boost creativity. Remember how you had favorite colors as a kid? You still do, and when you surround yourself with those colors, your creativity and ingenuity skyrockets.</li>
<li>Flowers will help you breathe fresh air. Plants and flowers are natural air purifiers, so before you buy the latest gadget to eliminate toxins from the air, try adding a beautiful plant or floral bouquet to your space for fresh, clean air.</li>
<li>Flowers will reduce stress. The color green has been proven to have calming benefits that lower stress levels. Try adding flowers with leafy green foliage to your office or work space to create a calm, peaceful environment and reduce stress and anxiety.</li>
</ul>
<p><span id="more-1292"></span></p>

<p>Summer means longer days filled with barbecues, swimming, and lots of parties and of course, the Fourth of July is one of the biggest celebrations! As this festive holiday fast approaches, French Florist wishes you and your family a safe and happy&nbsp;day, full of color, life and times with loved ones. For all of your gatherings or to remember a special veteran you can trust the floral designers at our Los Angeles shop to create beautiful&nbsp;July 4th floral arrangements.</p>
<p>On the occasion of the very first <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/independence-day/">Independence Day</a> celebration, John Adams wrote 'this will be the most memorable Epocha in the history of America. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with games, sports,&nbsp;bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent&nbsp;to the other, from this time forward forever more. And it is in that tradition that we offer some local area events to celebrate the Fourth of July.</p>

FREEDOM IS BLOOMING THIS FOURTH OF JULY

Modern Fourth of July celebrations include baseball games, concerts, speeches, ceremonies, parades, carnivals, fireworks displays, picnics, and backyard barbecues. No matter the type of party, Independence Day celebrations always feature stars and stripes and the colors red, white, and blue. The following are three fun ways you can incorporate the American Flag theme into your Fourth or July celebration.</p>
<p><strong>Food</strong> Although playing with food is generally not recommend, we encourage you to decorate with your food for the Fourth of July with festive holiday recipes. Serve patriotic parfaits by layering whipped cream, strawberries, and blueberries in glass serving dishes. Guests will eat up an American Flag pizza made with a rectangular baking dish, stripes of pepperoni, and stars of black olives. Be sure to have lots of fun with dessert by treating guests to festive cupcakes frosted red, white, and blue and decorated with star shaped sprinkles.</p>
<p><strong>Decorations</strong> Fill your home and backyard with festive Fourth of July atmosphere by using red, white, and blue elements of decor. String crepe paper or ribbon from the backs of chairs, edge tables with patriotic swag banners, and place clusters of helium balloons at the serving table and bar. You can even hang silver stars from <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/trees/">trees</a>, a trellis, or the ceiling. <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=396">Floral arrangements</a>&nbsp;featuring red and white carnations or roses and blue floral accents will make the perfect centerpieces for your tables and add a splash of elegance to your other fun decorations.</p>
<p><strong>Fun Festivities</strong> Continue adding to the decor throughout the party by setting up a crafting station to entertain the children at the party. Stock the table with all the supplies they will need to fashion tissue paper sparklers, place mats, construction paper wind socks, pinwheels, and paper chains. Be sure to provide plenty of glitter to ensure their decorations dazzle throughout the day as much as the fireworks dazzle after dark.</p>
<p>However you plan to celebrate the Fourth of July, our professional floral designers at <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> will help you select the perfect patriotic floral arrangements for your festive picnic, barbecue, or parade float. We wish you a fun, safe, and happy Independence Day holiday!</p>
